UPDATED NOV 2020. Of all my New Year’s resolutions, I thought reading one book a month would be an easy one. It’s been challenging though. The first book I picked was really boring and now I get commitment-shy when picking my monthly book. I didn’t want to waste time reading lame books. Clearly, I needed some help to take the…

UPDATED FEB 2020. I’ll be honest, when I first came across the website for the Thermal Beer Spa in Budapest, I thought that it was a touristy rip-off.

UPDATED FEB 2020. What a dream. That’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of my stay at this Airbnb. I wanted to find somewhere to stay in Paris with an Eiffel Tower view because it was a long time dream of mine. A dream heavily influenced by Sex And The City and photos of Beyonce which…
UPDATED MAR 2020. Most of the time, people call me Katie. But for one sunny day in January, I was simply known as Gladiator! Ok, ok, I’ll admit that maybe that was only in my head and maybe I’ve seen the movie Gladiator one too many times. Anyway, I had wanted to visit the Colosseum since I saw that movie. It…
